This battery is not charging for me. Am I doing something wrong? Is there more to it than just installing it?

The battery I got worked for 2 weeks then quit charging. It was from Tech Rover, and they promised to honor the warranty, but despite my repeated requests after I shipped it back, they never did. I ended up ordering a more expensive one from Dell, but at least it has worked. I notice that this one is not shipped by Tech Rover. Hope this helps.

I just snapped it in place and charged it like I would the original battery. I haven't had any issues with mine.

I'm not sure about your situation. I didn't have any trouble with mine, after it was installed. Good luck!

Sorry for the late response. it's supposed to be, but it would not charge. I returned it and got the Lenmar brand instead. Apparently, according to Lenmar, you have to update the bios. Which I did. Battery works perfectly.

could be a bad battery (even though it is new) or the transformer that suppose to charge it is bad. use a multi meter set to volts dc and put the red probe on the red terminal of the battery and the black one on the other terminal. see if it reads more than 12 volts. if not, the transformer that charges the battery is bad. if it shows 12 volts or more, than it is the battery. good luck.

Mine never worked at all. My advice would be to do like I did: request a refund, then throw this battery in the garbage and spend a few bucks on an Anker or other decent brand. :-) Seriously, you may want to remove the battery while the computer is plugged in and see if it changes anything on the status display. If it changes, you know the battery is bad, if not, I would suspect a problem with the computer.

It might be defective and has to be exchanged. I purchased the same battery more than 6 months ago and I had no problems with it so far. I traveled a lot with my netbook and it would provide me at least 4-5 h of work from one charge every time.

How old is the battery? Are you allowing the battery to get a full charge? It could could also be that your battery has a couple dead cells.

Are you sure the charger is working, I would check that first? If so, also suggest you might need to disassemble it to determine the battery model and type, then search online accordingly. Sorry - not a positive answer to your question.

sounds like the battery is going or needs a full 24 hr charge - check the initial instructions to see if you missed a step

mine charged up no problem. It may be a bad charger or something is drawing from the battery as its charging or maybe a dud battery. Try a different charger if you can.

Had the same problem and hence I returned the battery.Try to keep the battery in your freezer for 2-3 hours and try charging it .. If it works, you got it addressed.

Sounds like a loose connection. I would take it back to where you purchased it and ask for another, if they wont help, contact the company, and see if they will exchange it for you. You might first try making a good tight connection between the battery terminals and the battery by slightly bending the terminals towards the battery for a tighter fit.

Your system should be charging it automatically. If you just now installed the battery, wait 24 hours and it should be fine. You may need to reset low battery warning. See your manual for instructions. If it has been installed since February and now is showing low battery , verify the main power source is turned on.

Are you getting the message at the control panel that the battery is charging? I think my new battery took 2 or 3 days to fully charge. Give it another two days on your battery.

don't count on any new battery to be fully charged! mine had a charge but I'm sure it was not 100% charged. Once installed your system should start charging it.

The battery that I installed in my phone was fully charged in about 4 hours. If the battery that you recieved won't charge you might have got a defective one. I would try cleaning the contacts on the battery and your phone and then try to charge it again. If that dosen't work then you will have to return it for replacement. I hope that answers your questions.

I would definitely say that the unit or the battery you are trying to charge is defective. Mine gets warm, but not even close to frighteningly hot!
